Cpap titration sleep
Common Questions and Answers about Cpap titration sleep
cpap
with sleep apnea. Did you do a follow-up sleep test (polysomnography with titration)? Or, did they actually put a CPAP mask on you during your test(s) at the laboratory? If not, you may need to see your sleep physician again and have a PSGT (Polysomnography with titration). If your problem is not "simple" obstructive sleep apnea, CPAP/BiPAP/AutoPAP, etc. may not meet your needs.
It is the most frightening thing I have EVER experienced and it takes an almost sleepless night to finally fall asleep. I will use a Pure Sleep oral device in conjunction with my CPAP to finally fall, and/or fall back asleep...without it I feel my throat close over. I mentioned this to my new doctor's office and was given a chin strap. Upon returning, he convinced me that it was due to my manibular position and anxiety, and that I was probably not wearing my chin strap every night.
Yes, there can be a link. Every time you stop breathing, you create a vacuum effect that can suck up your stomach juices into your throat (causing your voice box inflammation which can lead to hoarseness, cough, lump sensation and post-nasal drip). It's been shown that stomach contents can then either go into your lungs or into your ears or sinuses. Consider that it's not just acid, but bile, digestive enzymes, and bacteria that's coming up.
I was diagnosed with OSA about 2 years. For all this time I am struggling with the cpap machine/mask.
I got over the embarrsement/discomfort but still having problems that make me not use it.
I have a good machine with humidfyer. But I get so bone dry in the mouth-tongue that it wakes me up.(no moisture to even swallow) I have tried different things but guess I am still mouth breathing with mask on. I have a full faced Mirage Quattro mask.
Been on the CPAP for the last year. three months ago I had a septoplasty...All went well. Two weeks ago I had UPPP surgery and ever since the first night as soon as I fall asleep I start choking. Seems like even when I'm awake i can take a deep breath through my nose and feel my tonge/throat closing off. I"ve video taped myself sleeping the last few nights and it's happening about every 5 to 10 minutes. I'm choking on the inhale...
Even though I have other sleep issues (limb movements) and my poor sleep patterns persisted even after CPAP, just having my brain get the air it needs and my body not to be stressed with repeatedly suffocating all night, I began to improve. Since you weren't feeling the effects of your sleep apnea, maybe your journey to good sleep and better health will be soon successful.
My original polysomnography showed 1 obstructive apnea, 1 central apnea, 2 hypopneas and 148 respiratory effort-related arousals in 6 hours of sleep, with greatly increased stage 1 and significantly decreased stage 3 and REM sleep, so I think UARS fits. However, the 2 titration studies I had seemed to have been focused on apnea; the CPAP pressure used only reduced my RERAS to 12/hr hour, and the sleep fragmentation was worse than my diagnostic study.
The search my cardio had was the Why, and stumbled onto sleep issues and found pulse Oximetry test positive for hypoxia and sleep apnea. As we go down this tributary, I am told they give you a CPAP and do not worry why. Let's see in three months. This is fair, however since the sleep "box" has been opened, I need answers to a lifetime of fatigue, naps, 24 hour catch-ups staring seizures, night seizures, depression, etc.....
I stopped breathing 15 times an hour and my Blood O2 got to 82%.. I dont know, are those results bad or mid range?? I had a CPAP titration last night and slept great. It took a while to get used to the mask but i felt really good today. I hope over time i will be back to 100%. The only thing is that the machine pumped my stomach full of air.. Makes an unpleasant morning!! I will be set up on a machine by the end of the week..
I have sleep apnea and was using the cpap machine but used it only once cause i could not at all sleep with a mask on my mouth and I could not aford to pay for it. So I returned it ,but now i cant sleep and during the day at abut after 12 noon i feel really tires and headaches and very sleepy . So i take caffine pills everyday to stay awake. I know taking pills is no the answer and I should be using the machine. My question is is there any other way to cure my problem with out the machine.
Would test thyroid - if severely hypo, it may be the cause. weight loss, cpap, mouthpieces and surgery are the usual treatment options.
t have REM sleep before, but I did after Cpap was put on. But the whole night was a fight to stay asleep, I bet I slept no more than 3 hours total.
What is your opinion, do you think the Cpap could be my miracle cure with all these symptoms, but only mild apnea? Can it cure my mild polycythemia and improve the symptoms I listed, even though the apnea is only mild? I was given the prescription for 11cm cpap.
Thanks.
I wear TAP 3 appliance. Did a sleep study with Resmed Appnealink Plus. 4 Apnea, 12 Hypoapnea/M , AHI 19, Average O2 saturation 93%, lowest 83% once,pulse h 101, low 50, avg 74
then I wore Auto CPAP s9 along with TAP3 and AHI was 0, All Apnea are gone, O2 average was 95% but lowest desaturation episode was 76%, once, pulse H 104,lowest 47 and average 72
Why does this lowest desaturation event up to 83% occur even with CPAP ? Is this a clinically significant to seek an opinion ?
I have sleep apnea and after using CPAP I still have exhaustion, daytime falling asleep, heart racing. Is the heart racing and feeling of restlessness, due to sleep apnea or something else? I also have high blood pressure, and blood in my stool, GERD, gastritis, asthma. Does it take a long time for CPAP to start working? I was taking some sleeping pills and melatonin. Should I use a full face mask or standard nose mask with CPAP? Thanks very much!
• With use of a CPAP or bilevel, they show a pattern of central apneas and hypopneas that meets the Centers for Medicare Services (CMS) definition of CSA
Patients with CompSA may be seen as those who cannot tolerate conventional CPAP or bilevel therapy both during lab titration and at home. Neither CPAP nor bilevel therapy seems to alleviate their sleep disorders.
